The Millennium Rod’s unique ability grants the holder the power to control people’s minds, turning them into the owner’s mind slaves. By extension, it is also capable of mind manipulation, which allows the owner to telepathically communicate with others, look into their memories, trick their minds into believing what the Rod’s owner wants them to, knock people unconscious and leave a portion of the owner’s mind in the people that he has controlled (like what happened with Bakura and Tea).
Its mind control power has no effect on someone who bears a Millennium Item (like Ishizu Ishtar before she gave her Millennium Necklace to Yugi) or has a unique connection to the ancient Shadow Games (like Yugi Moto, Yami Bakura or Seto Kaiba), or a person whose will is strong.
Like the other Millennium Items, its power over the Shadow Games allows it to materialize and command Duel Monsters and their effects, and cast a Penalty Game against the loser. Marik’s Shadow Games created through this item have been the most brutal and damaging, from memory destruction (like with Mai and the pyramid-shaped hourglass with memory-sapping sand) to inducing pain.
